Country: Kazakhstan Province: Jambyl Region |
Country: Kazakhstan Province: Karaganda Region District: Shet District Other settlement: Aksa-Ayuliye Rural District |
Local specifics | The site is located in the foothills with significant difference in elevation |
The site is located in the area of acute shortage of irrigation and drinking water |
Practice usage period |
Start date: 01.01.2006 End date: 31.12.2007 |
Start date: 01.01.2015 End date: 31.12.2015 |
Problem solved through this practice | Water erosion, discharge, uneven distribution of irrigation water, poor yields |
Acute shortage of irrigation water |
Tools used in the practice | Technique and technology for irrigation based on Simultaneous Impulse Sprinkling Kit (KSID-10S) |
Measures to restore natural springs: arrangement of stone protection fencing around springs and installation of water-release pipes |
Description of the practice and its results | Actions: Deployment of the Simultaneous Impulse Sprinkling Kit (KSID-10S) allowing extremely uniform and simultaneous dispersion of irrigation water across all sections of arable pasture or hayfield meadow. Water expenditure at the impulse device makes 0.05-0.3 l/sec and 0.25-2.0 l/sec in the irrigation pipeline, thus, reducing (3-4 times) the costs associated with the pipeline network installation compared to other sprinkling systems (kits). The pipeline network is built of 15-25 mm diameter pipes easy to transport and assemble in mountainous conditions. Technical characteristics: Operation modes: automatic and manual Irrigated area: 10 ha Water consumption: up to 100 m3/day Average sprinkling (rain) intensity: 0.002-0.008 mm/min EFFICIENCY: 99% MOC: 98% Watering automation level: 100%

Lessons learnt and recommendations made | Lessons learnt: The advantages of impulse sprinkling irrigation were confirmed by the research efforts on other test sites of KAZNIIVKh in Jambyl Region that allowed increasing biological productivity of Golden Delicious apple variety by 10.1-36.8%, and commercial productivity – by 16.6-49.4% compared to conventional sprinkling irrigation systems. Recommendations: It is necessary to continue application of similar practices in foothill areas in Central Asia subject to power supply shortages. |
